The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order so then the Divine promise of the dominance of God's servants over 'The Promised Land' (Al-An:), will not be fulfilled in their favour. Al An: may mean Palestine, or even the whole world.

The Muslim hearts are bleeding al their contention that as the allies were on the side of "Truth", therefore, the truth has triumphed over "Falsehood". This is certainly not true. In this context there is another thing which need to be brought to your notice. An American General kepi on harping that their soldiers had 'white' hats while the Iraqis were wearing 'black' ones.
